Keep color limited: Stick to 1–2 tones — neutrals, whites, or soft beiges.
-
Focus on materials: Glass, matte metal, and ceramic textures photograph beautifully in AI.
-
Describe light direction: “Soft top light” or “diagonal daylight” adds realism instantly.
-
Add imperfection: Slight scratches or reflections add authenticity.
